Description
Ormurinn Guesthouse & Cottages offer travelers two inviting ways to enjoy East Iceland’s spectacular scenery.
Guests can choose between charming A-shaped cottages for a rustic retreat or comfortable guesthouse rooms for a cozy stay with modern conveniences.
Whichever you select, you’ll enjoy stunning nature views and a warm Icelandic welcome.
Location & Nearby
The Ormurinn Gueshouse & Cottages line the edge of Lake Lagarfljot, a lake steeped in fascinating folklore. On the other side of it, just a seven-minute drive away, is the capital of East Iceland, Egilsstadir. Here, you can stock up on groceries and find a wealth of other services, and explore attractions such as Hallormstadaskogar, the country’s largest forest.
The guesthouse and cottages are also just a 40-minute walk from a serene geothermal spa, the Vok Baths.
Travellers to East Iceland, regardless of whether they are visiting the region exclusively or on a Ring Road adventure, will find the Ormurinn Guesthouse & Cottages a fantastic base from which to explore the Eastfjords. This coastal area is one of the country’s most remote and breathtaking, with unmatched views and a wealth of wildlife.
Specifically, you can reach fjords such as Seydisfjordur, Eskifjordur, and Borgarfjordur Eystri in half an hour, 45 minutes, and an hour, respectively.
Facilities & Amenities
The Ormurinn Cottages feature one main bedroom, a sofa bed in the cozy living space, a small kitchenette for self-catering, and a bathroom with a shower. Smaller cottages can accommodate three adults and a child, while larger ones can host an extra guest. Each has a terrace overlooking the lake with barbecue facilities and access to free Wi-Fi. The cabins are spaced apart for privacy and tranquility.
The alternative option, the Ormurinn Guesthouse, provides comfortable, well-equipped rooms with private bathrooms ideal for travelers who prefer a more traditional stay. Guests share access to a communal kitchen, lounge, and dining area, creating a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Like the cottages, the guesthouse offers free Wi-Fi and beautiful lake views.
Why Choose Ormurinn Cottages?
Whether you’re seeking the rustic charm of a private log cabin or the convenience of a guesthouse room, Ormurinn offers the perfect setting for immersing yourself in Iceland’s eastern landscapes. Check availability by choosing your preferred dates.
